  • Wires 179a, 179b are formed on substrate 178, connected to resistance wire 172 for the supply of heating power.
  • Fig. 4 is a circuit diagram of intake air flow rate measurement apparatus 16.
  • Heat sensitive element 17 and auxiliary heat sensitive element 30 are fastened inside intake air pipe 13.
  • Auxiliary element 30 also has a resistance wire such as a platinum wire, the resistance of which varies in response to the temperature of the air flow, making it a means for measuring the air temperature.
  • Heat sensitive elements 17 and 30 together with fixed resistors 31 and 32 constitute a bridge circuit.
  • the nodes of resistors 31 and 32, and heat sensistive elements 17 and 30, which are output terminals, are connected to the input terminals comparator 33.
  • a signal is output from comparator 33.
  • This output signal from comparator 33 resets flip-flop circuit 34, which is set by the start pulse signal sent from engine control unit 18 (not shown).
  • the signal output from rotational speed sensor 19 synchronous with the rotation is detected by control unit 18 which then generates a start pulse also synchronous with the rotation of the engine.
  • Flip-flop circuit 34 is set synchronous with the rotation of the engine and reset when the temperature of heat sensitive element 17 rises to a specified temperature. Flip-flop circuit 34 generates a pulse signal the width of which corresponds to the time between the set and reset operations. This output signal is output via buffer amplifier 35 as the output signal of the measurement apparatus.

  • Differential amplifier 38 to which a reference voltage is supplied from reference voltage generator 37 monitors the voltage of the power supplied to the bridge circuit and controls the base potential of transistor 36.

  • transistor 36 The base of transistor 36 is connected to ground via transistor 39, which is on when flip-flop circuit 34 is reset, to supply power to heat sensitive element 17.
  • the start pulse signal shown in Fig. 5A is generated synchronously with the rotation of the engine, flip-flop circuit 3 4 is set corresponding to this signal and the output signal from set terminal Q rises as shown in Fig. 5B. With the rise of this signal, transistor 36 is turned on and power is supplied to heat sensitive element 17. When this constant voltage power is supplied, heat sensitive element 17 heats up and the temperature rises as shown in Fig. 5C. In this case, the temperature rise velocity is determined by the cooling effect of the air flow on heat sensitive element 17; the greater the air flow, the slower temperature rise velocity, and the smaller the flow, the greater the velocity.
  • the resistance value also increases so the voltage at node a drops lower than the voltage at node b, and the output signal from comparator 35 rises. Namely, when the temperature of heat sensitive element 17 rises to a set temperature difference over the air temperature as measured by auxiliary heat sensitive element 30, the signal from comparator 33 rises as shown in Fig. 5D and resets flip-flop circuit 34 turning off transistor 36 so that power to element 17 is turned off.
  • the start pulse signal After the start pulse signal has caused the heating power to the heat sensitive element -17 to rise, the power supply is continued during the time period until element 17 reaches a specified temperature.
  • This signal corresponding to this time period, is output from flip-flop circuit 34. Because the temperature rise velocity of element 17 corresponds to the air flow rate in intake pipe 13, the time length of the setting of flip-flop circuit 34 indicates the air flow rate.
  • the output signal of flip-flop circuit 34 as shown in Fig. 5B, is the measurement signal of the air flow rate in intake pipe 13, and is expressed by time length T and cycle T N . This signal is supplied to engine control unit 18 to be used in the computation of the fuel injection amount.
  • the pulse width T of this measurement signal which corresponds to the measured air flow rate, can be expressed as follows.
  • the air flow rate G/N corresponding to the number of engine rotation is determined, and engine control unit 18 then determines the fuel injection time length corresponding to the fuel injection amount.
  • the microcomputer control program for calculating G/N is extremely complicated.
  • the following is a simple means for accurately calculating the intake air flow rate per engine rotation G/N.
  • equation (1) for G/N is changed to the following theoretical equation: G/N ⁇ N(T- ⁇ /N) 2 / ⁇ 2 ....(2)
  • Figs. 6 to 8 show experimental data representing the relationship between the above functions and engine rotation number of a 4-cylindered engine.
  • the contents of Figs. 6 to 8 are stored in the memory device as a one-dimensional map.
  • functions f l (N), f 2 ( N ) 7 f 3 ( N ) of equation (3) are stored in function memory devices 51-53 as maps of the parameters of the number of engine rotations N shown in Figs. 6-8, corresponding to these functions.
  • Interpolation calculation means 54 reads out these maps in response to the number engine rotations N.
  • G/N which obtained based on these read out functions, is supplied to the fuel injection ratio calculation means 55 and the fuel injection ratio is calculated corresponding to time data T of the output signal from air flow rate measurement apparatus 16, corresponding to the measured air flow rate.
  • Fig. 10 is the base processing of the main control routine of engine control unit 18.
  • the device is reset, and, in step 101 initialization is executed.
  • analog detection of the engine operating state such as coolant temperature, air temperature, exhaust gas oxide content and battery voltage, etc. is performed, and this data is A/D converted and supplied as digital data in step 102.
  • step 103 various correction amounts corresponding to these detection signals are calculated and used in the correction calculatios of the fuel injection time length, for example.
  • Fig. 11 is a flow chart for the means for determining the amount of fuel, in actuality, the fuel injection time length, in response to the operating state of the engine. This calculation routine is interrupted in response to the signal that is synchronous with the rotation of the engine, i.e., ignition signal IG.
  • step 201 the count value tl of the counter, which operates in the free state, is read out in response to signal IG and is compared to count value tl' read out in response to the previous signal IG. That is, a count value corresponding to the IG signal generation interval is calculated and the number of rotations of the engine detected.
  • step 202 based on the number of rotations N detected in step 201, functions f l (N), f 2 ( N ), f 3 ( N ), such as those shown in Figs. 6 to 8, from map memory device 51-53 are interpolated and, in step 203, the fuel injection timing t3 is set.
  • Air flow rate measurement apparatus 16 controls the rise of the heating power to element 17 by applying a start pulse signal generated at timing tl corresponding to signal IG.
  • step 204 timing t4 of the drop of the pulse output signal from measurement apparatus 16 is detected and the time length T corresponding to the air flow rate measurement value is calculated (t4-tl).
  • T A the injection time length
  • T B the injection finish time to t5 is set in step 207.
  • equation (2) which expresses the air flow rate G/N per engine rotation, is used to obtain a 2-dimensional map of the time length T and the number of rotations N, it is necessary to divide the point by 50 to obtain the error range of ⁇ 2 % for the time length T and number of rotations N required to ensure the required accuracy. Consequently, there are many map setting points and many points that are not used, which is very uneconomical.
  • air flow rate measurement apparatus 16 supplies heat power to heat sensistive element 17 at a constant voltage setting. It is, however, possible to supply the heating power at a constant current, instead. Namely, a constant current heating power is supplied to heat sensitive element 17 whose temperature increases at a velocity corresponding to the measured air flow rate. When element 17 reaches a specified temperature, this is detected. By this detection operation it is possible to obtain a measurement output signal for pulse time width T, the same as with the previous embodiment.
  • the intake condition measuring device detects the intake air flow rate, and based on this air flow rate G/N the injection quantity of fuel is calculated.
  • the intake condition measuring device may be adapted to detect the intake air pipe pressure P.
